Hello,

Not sure if anybody was watching these, but I couldn't believe it:

WOW! I had no idea that they would go that high! I've seen the majority of 8 Fingers that Block has sold, go for about $20-$40. However, there was this one with variegated ribbon colors that sold for $240!

I was watching all these on the bay and it got me wondering about this one of mine. It has eight vanes would it fall into the finger catagory??

Thanks for looking
Terry

Good question Terry. I've had this purple and white one rolling around my desk for months for no other reason than I thought it was odd and cool looking. The eighth ribbon is hard to see because two of them are close together. Was Vitro the only one who made 8 vaners?

Terry's looks like a possibility but probably not? Browndog's is not. Those styles were made by Vitro although you can find other 8 vane cat's-eyes made by foreign makers. They do not normally look like the Vitro 8 fingers, though. As for prices, it must be Alan's rep. Looks like it is time to buy up the 8 fingers at $40 and send them to Alan to sell - good investment opportunity!!!

I think that it's the transparent colored based ones that sell for the most (unless the vanes are multi-colored in a clear base).

Oh crap, now back to the cat jars again lol. I have lots of the 8 vane ones that look like that but probably not vitro eight fingers. I have to look and I'll post some pics probably tomorrow. Now I'm all excited lol. I also have 2 like Browndogs, one with more purple and one with more white. They are way cool!
